Bill: CP.0004.2521 Narcotic Control Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2522
Description[?]:
| Article 1: The CP believes the use of cannabis for medical purposes is vital and that its position as a fiber in many manufacturing industries. Therefore, the CP supports the safe and pure production of the plants of the hemp family for these purposes only. The purity of the product is further enforced by Article 2. Article 2: The CP understands that a portion of the population of Sekowo has acquired a taste for recreational drug use. Although the CP does not encourage such activity, due to relax laws, it is prevalent. Many citizens of Sekowo die due to the intake of adulterants (substances that should not be in a product) and cutting agents (items that dilute a product - cheaper for dealer but harmful for recipients). The regulation would still permit citizens to use recreational drugs while reducing health costs (e.g. extracting glass from someone's lungs) and deaths (such as turpentine in marijuana). |

| Message | We are opposed to this bill as certain areas would outright ban the use, and we consider that suppression of freedom. Drugs are technically consumable products and therefore fall under consumer safety regulation laws in regards to chemical make-up where applicable. |
| Date | 19:19:07, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Peasant Party Of Sekowo | To | Debating the CP.0004.2521 Narcotic Control Bill |
| Message | We support this bill. However, we would like their be a regulatory committee established to allow small farm and cooperatives to produce such crops rather than massive corperate farmers. |
| Date | 23:46:52, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the CP.0004.2521 Narcotic Control Bill |
| Message | We must oppose this bill as we do not believe local governments should be able to regulate what people put into their bodies. |
| Date | 02:12:56, January 25, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the CP.0004.2521 Narcotic Control Bill |
| Message | Local governments are best aware of local traditions and needs. |

| Message | Freedom is more important than 'tradition'. |
| Date | 03:11:59, January 25, 2008 CET | From | Sekowan Communist Party | To | Debating the CP.0004.2521 Narcotic Control Bill |
| Message | We see no reason to restrict the People's freedom. Indeed, often all it takes to keep people away from dangerous drugs is a caring parent or a family member falling prey to them. |
| Date | 05:17:50, January 25, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the CP.0004.2521 Narcotic Control Bill |
| Message | And we want to encourage caring parents or family members falling prey to dangerous substances which may cause social problems and work disruption? No, the locals know how best to handle these issues within their societies. Let them decide. |

| Message | It's called responsibility, if you fuck up, its your fault, and you pay the consequences, besides seeing the effect on someone is much more likely to make those close know to be safe users if they ever decide to. And we will never allow freedom to be gotten rid of in the name of culture or society or some other bunk. |
| Date | 07:07:14, January 25, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the CP.0004.2521 Narcotic Control Bill |
| Message | But you will in the name of secularism? |

| Message | Just as Freedom is more important than Democracy, Secularism is more important than allowing people to wear overtly religious clothing while in employment of the government. |
